    But instead of the regular one, use this one instead. It looks far more lewd.:sisi1

    Can’t put my finger on it, but this username seems to be missing something.

    Obviously impressive to pick so far into the future.

    I was surprised at how few people were picking him for this fight. Obviously there are a few voices on this forum, but in boxing there were seldom few people who spoke better than '50:50 ... but I'd lean Joshua'. Michael Hunter was the only boxer I came across, and Teddy Atlas got the right pick for once too.

    I would say I was confident picking Usyk because the reasoning seemed very solid, and it felt like the crowd psychology was based on the same flawed memes repeated over and over sometimes word for word. Still, I was nervous on fight night, one of those 'is everyone else so wrong ... or am I insane?' moments. Feels good to be right.

    Since bumping old really wrong Usyk threads has ben in vogue for the last few days. How about one that was spot on?:sisi1 A full 3 years before he moved up and became champ.

    **** you haha.

    For me your name is synonymous with Usyk. As a low key detractor I really didn't think he could become unified at heavyweight. I used to roll my eyes at all your posts hyping up Usyk.

    So let me finish this post by saying **** you again haha.

    You know your boxing, good stuff brother.

    Any other relatively unknown fighters on your radar at cruiser or heavy?

    Hey, I wasn't made a Mod for nothing.:sisi1

    As far as future stars at Cruiser and Heavy go, to be honest, while there' a few that slightly impress me, none on the level of Usyk.

    CST - I think you have been the most consistent and evidence-based promoter of Usyk on here

    And for that you deserve great kudos, my friend

    Another nice, concise evaluation promoting Usyk at HW and accurately predicting his success there.

    I hope we get to see Fury versus Usyk to unify before one of them starts losing titles

    That would be such a great fight and Usyk would really put fury’s skill and size to the test, like no one else could

    I would lean towards fury to win, but not by much
